Walt Disney World continues to transform into Christmas mode as the Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian is set to open on Monday! (below, left) We were there for the final sifting over the structure by the chef, as cast members were adding last-minute touches. Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus (below, left) were ready to be put into place. We learned that nearly everything is made of chocolate (or edible), except the furniture, some trees and a few other items.

Cast members add icing to the Gingerbread House (below, left). A solid, chocolate Santa surveys his surroundings (below, right).

Icing is added to the Gingerbread House (below, left). Chipand Dale play in the snow in this artwork on the house (below, right). The flowers are also edible!

The chef gets ready to sift flour onto the house (below, left). This process took about 20 minutes and was really interesting to watch as he was lifted to the Gingerbread House and around it as he dropped flour (below, right).

The chef sifts flower over the top of the Gingerbread House (below left and right).

He even sifted some onto the cast members below! (below, left) The Grand Floridian Gingerbread House is nearly done and will open on Monday, November 15th at 10am (below, right).

We have had a great time at the two Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parties that we have attended. Mickey and Minnie have new outfits for Christmas (below, left). There have been some small changes made to the parade, but the perennial favorite Toy Soldiers are still marching! (below, right). Please check back soon for full coverage of this years party!
